Chapter 483 Accepting the Commission, Lin Yu's Identity
Chapter 483 Accepting the Commission, Lin Yu's Identity
Lin Yu left the Magic Pig Bar with a black business card.
"It's good to look like an expert. It saves you a lot of trouble."
If it weren't for my superb acting skills that scared the shark out of shock, I would probably have to argue with a middleman.
But now, it seems that I can directly contact the employer.
This black business card looks very light and thin, and the material is not paper.
It looks like a material between plastic and metal. When you put your finger on it, some words and symbols will appear on the pure black card surface.
It was a string of communication ID numbers and a cool logo that looked like a thorn ring, scrolling and flashing continuously.
In Lin Yu's opinion, this thing is more like a small display screen than a business card.
The owner of this thing who can give it out as a "business card" must be either rich or noble.
Of course, if you are not a wealthy or powerful person, it is impossible to offer such a high reward.
Holding the black business card, Lin Yu walked into a dark alley next to the bar and thought for a while.
"Although I got the contact information, how can I contact them..."
He doesn't have a mobile phone or other communication equipment in this world.
Lin Yu thought for a moment and took out his mobile phone - which was the [Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin].
A gift from senior student Shen Bingmiao.
Looking at the transparent board, Lin Yu had an idea for some unknown reason.
"Want to try calling the number directly with this thing?"
Thinking about this, Lin Yu turned on his mobile phone and unlocked it, then opened the call interface and dialed the long string of ID numbers on it.
When you press the call button...
What was both unexpected and expected was that the call actually went through!
"Beep...beep..."
The phone connection sound was heard, and soon after, the call was picked up.
The voice on the other end was very young, with a tone of disbelief.
"Are you... here to take on a commission?"
"Your tricks are quite powerful. I can't even see your number or message displayed on my end."
Lin Yu was also a little curious and spoke in a low voice.
"How did you know I was here to take on a commission?"
There was a burst of laughter from the other side.
"Hahahaha, because this phone and communication ID are newly registered, specifically for receiving communications related to commissions."
"Anyway... I recognize you. This communication method alone is worth recruiting you into the team."
Lin Yu keenly caught the other party's words: "Team?"
"Team, yes. Infiltrating the headquarters of the three major companies and assassinating an A-2-level guy—do you really think that's something a non-city person could do alone?" The other party's tone was still relaxed, but inevitably revealed arrogance. "Don't think too highly of yourself—even if your mission on Gray Third Street is considered a task, you don't know how terrifying the three major companies are in the city that never sleeps!"
Lin Yu murmured: "Okay, I don't mind cooperating with others, but the reward..."
"5 is your base salary. Success will earn you bonuses. Depending on your contributions, you'll get at least another 5. Perhaps triple or quadruple that," the voice on the phone said casually. "You should have seen the logo on my business card."
"That thorn ring? What does it mean?"
Lin Yu asked back.
The person on the other end of the phone fell silent.
After a long time, the other party spoke again.
"Are you from the City That Never Sleeps? This is the symbol of a royal noble, don't you recognize it?"
Lin Yu said sincerely: "I really am not."
The voice on the other end of the line panted for a moment, then quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Okay, you actually recruited a stowaway from the Great Wasteland... But the fact that you, a Great Wasteland person, were able to block my communication detection is even more commendable."
"Anyway, all you need to know is that I'm a formidable figure. I can afford any reward, no matter how high, because I'm the master and king of the City That Never Sleeps... Although I'm not the only king, which I hate, but talents like you should work for me. It's the most cost-effective deal, understand?"
Lin Yu listened to the voice on the phone and hadn't expressed any opinion yet, but Lao Zheng's muttering sounded in Lin Yu's ears first.
"He has some NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) tendencies."
"Or maybe it's just a simple aristocratic quirk. In this world, there are indeed citizen hierarchies, and those who are superior to others naturally have less need to hide."
Lin Yu responded to Lao Zheng in his heart.
After all, "royal nobles" refer to the five major aristocratic families in the city that never sleeps.
Mercury, Autumn, Nevernight, Sorens, Saint Orchid.
The five great nobles and the three great companies jointly control the city that never sleeps - but in fact the five great nobles are the three great companies, and the three great companies are the five great nobles.
If the employer comes from one of the five noble families, then the remuneration for this order is indeed guaranteed.
of course……
To Lin Yu, the money in the City That Never Sleeps doesn’t mean much.
It's better than nothing.
But in response to the other party's words, Lin Yu still spoke up and seemed eager to try.
"I understand. Then... where should I go to find you? Who is the target of my mission?"
"Are you on Gray Third Street?"
"correct."
"That's perfect. I don't know if you're close to the Magic Pig Bar. Go to the Magic Pig Bar and find Box 17. Someone there will greet you and tell you what to do."
After hearing the other party's words, Lin Yu looked at the sign of the Magic Pig Bar at the entrance of the alley and fell silent.
"Well, it's not far. I'll be there soon."
……
Inside the Magic Pig Bar, in Box No. 1, Shock, who had woken up, started eating his leftovers.
Across from Shark Shock, the muscular man in a vest said in confusion, "Boss, I don't understand... why did you give him all the hidden commissions just because he called out your name?"
"I even gave him my business card directly - that's against the rules."
"You haven't even tested his skills, so how do you know if he's a tough guy? The client behind this commission is quite powerful. If he messes up... both us and the middleman will be in trouble!"
Shark Shock looked at the dark muscular man and put down the dishes in his hands.
"Are you concerned about that employer?"
The muscular man nodded. "Of course, Boss Shock, Black Snake hinted to us... that the employer is likely a noble, and most likely from one of the five noble families!"
Shark Shock said in a deep voice: "Of course I know, so for the same reason, you should also be cautious of him!"
"You know, I was the Duke's bodyguard in the inner city for a while, so I have some connections... Today, a colleague reminded me that someone from one of the five noble families has made their way to the edge of the outer city, seemingly looking to take on some commissions and get some excitement!"
"Moreover, the ones who came are direct descendants, not some random people from the side branches!"
The muscular man was horrified: "What?! Then... are you sure it's that guy?"
Shark Shock knocked his temple, and the eyeball of his left eye emitted a faint blue light.
"I used this military-grade 'scanning mirror' to check his face against the database, but there was no match - so this guy is either a fucking alien, or..."
"Nobles whose data is classified at a very damn high level!"
"That's why I quickly gave him my business card—the shorter the time this guy spends in our place, the better!"
